Rat Lungworm disease information
Rat Lungworm disease has been documented in Australia, Asia, the Pacific region, the Caribbean and the United States.
Most infections are not severe but in the worst cases rat lungworm disease causes severe meningitis and death.
Humans can contract Rat Lungworm disease by eating snails and slugs or material contaminated by slugs and snails. The best way to prevent infection is good sanitation; always wash hands after touching slugs and snails or surfaces contaminated by them.
It is also important to thoroughly wash and cook any produce that could be contaminated. Never eat raw snails or slugs.
